Traded 1.7, what say the people?

Postby RGKID144 » Tue Apr 25, 2017 7:10 am

What's up all, just traded away 1.7, so any feedback would be awesome! This is a 10 team league with DEEP starting requirements which are as follows:

2QB/4WR/2RB/TE/FLEX

The deal was:

Gave: 1.7, Colin Kaepernick.

Got: Eddie Lacy, 2.9, 2.10.

My picks are now 2.7, 2.9, 2.10, 3.7, 4.7. I definitely needed the RB, so hoping Lacy gets a full workload in SEA. My starting lineup week one will now likely look as follows:

QB:Cam Newton
QB: Kirk Cousins
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Odell Beckham Jr
WR: Alshon Jeffery
WR: Michael Crabtree
RB: Jay Ajayi
RB: Eddie Lacy
TE: Tyler Eifert
FLEX: Golden Tate

Check out my sig for depth, and what do you guys think? Helpful for my team?
Entering year ten of Dynasty 10 team 2QB/2RB/4WR/1TE/1FLEX(rb/wr/te).

QB: Bryce Young, Jared Goff, Mac Jones, Zach Wilson, Stetson Bennett.
WR: Garret Wilson, Devonta Smith, Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, Odell Beckham, Treylon Burks, Zay Flowers, Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown, Kenny Golladay.
RB: Bijan Robinson, Cam Akers, Antonio Gibson, Donta Foreman, Michael Carter, James Robinson, Dontrell Hilliard.
TE: Evan Engram, David Njoku, Trey McBride, Matt LaPorta Jelani Woods, Bob Tonyan.

You basically gave the 1.7 for Lacy and 2 draft picks now package something to get a TE being that you dropped 10 slots in the draft maybe even trying for another back being that you have several droppable players

To be blunt, I think you sold way short.
1.7 should be buying you a high upside younger player like Doctson or Corey Coleman. Lacy does not have anywhere near that kind of upside. You could have stayed put until the draft to see if a John Ross or OJ howard snuck into the top 6 which may have netted you a Mixon or Mike Williams.
I think this is a perfect illustration of worrying too much about filling lineup cards in April and how one can lose value doing that. Good luck.

It feels like an overpay. I just dont see lacy being much better than your existing rb depth. The backfield is crowded and the oline is horrible. If he couldnt get it done in gb i dont see anything that makes me think hes going to suddenly turn it around in seattle. If you really wanted to add a difference maker at rb i think packaging 1.7 with someone like abdullah would have been the way to go.

agreed - im not a lacy fan at all...even as a packer fan i was never thrilled about his lack of health but if you think youve got the missing piece and are high on lacy i get it...just would have wanted a little more coming back my way for 1.7 in this draft or next years.

I think you either sold short on the 1.07 or overpaid for Lacy, whichever you want to call it.

You did get a couple late 2nds in return, so all isn't lost. With trades like this where multiple picks outside the top 20 are a part of the deal, how the trade will eventually turn out is really dependent on an individual owner's ability when drafting rookies. So many say that later rookie picks are all just a crap shoot, but some owners are definitely more skilled with finding hidden gems in rookie drafts than others are. I still don't like the trade on paper, but the 2.09/2.10 at least affords you the opportunity to turn this trade into a win long term.

I appreciate the input, but I must disagree. Lacy has incredible upside in SEA's offense IMHO, and just as much upside as either Doctson or Coleman. Yes, Coleman has potential to be a monster for a longer period of time, but that's just simply the nature of WR vs RB, but agree to disagree. Also, Coleman is worth WAY more than 1.7, so I don't know why he's even being brought up here. Although it's a crowded backfield, Lacy has some serious potential for touches and TD's.

In regards to netting another upper echelon player, that is valid and I definitely can agree with that. I just am not loving anyone in particular, especially at 7, so I figured I'd throw more darts this year, garner 3 out of the final 4 picks in round two, and stay hopeful that Lacy can turn it up in SEA. After all, he was killing it in GB with a 5.1 YPC before getting hurt last year.

In regards to filling my lineup card, I had several options to roll with at RB, so this is far from me trying to fill a lineup card in April. Also, our lineups are DEEP, so having depth is always extremely important.

I appreciate the input, thanks! It's just too hard to pry one of the top backs away from an owner, so I thought this was a nice buy low on Lacy, and gave me a few nice picks at the tail end of the 2nd round to pair with my 2.7. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not in love with anyone in this draft particularly, so I'm just trying to give myself as many dart throws as I can. Also, I know he got hurt last year, but Lacy had a ridiculous 5.1 YPC before getting hurt last year. I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but that's pretty darn good.

Definitely understandable, I think I agree also. As Buckeye mentions, and kinda my thought process as well, I think I'm in a fine position to succeed should Lacy not produce in SEA which was kinda what I was going for with the picks. I tend to do well in 2nd and 3rd rounds of drafts, so I was very excited to pair 2.9 and 2.10 with 2.7. I'm working on a deal involving Fitz and a 3rd round pick for 2.8 also. Should that eventually go down, I'll have 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, and 2.10, and that's where the fun will begin lol.

Lol, let me correct myself. I'm not in love with anyone who I think will be available for me at 1.7, or enough in love to tie myself down to drafting. I was shopping the pick around and this was the deal I liked most. I probably should have waiting longer for the pick to garner more steam, but hey, you can't win em all.

Ahhh makes much more sense. I agree you could've waited and got a whole lot more but if you like Lacy then it's not s terrible deal imo

I gotta agree with the people who said you sold short. You probably could have gotten Lacy for cheaper and the late 2nds don't do much for me. We're also forgetting about Kaep in this deal. I don't expect much from him, but in a 2QB league, if he somehow gets a starting job somewhere his value alone is worth more than those 2 2nds and Lacy. For your sake, I hope Lacy gets in shape and does what he did early in his career. I actually like him and am rooting for him myself.

For your sake, I hope Lacy gets in shape and does what he did early in his career. I actually like him and am rooting for him myself.
Lol, thanks for the feedback dude. I completely agree, and this is the one aspect of the deal that I don't like, as I look back on it and reflect, etc. This league is obviously QB premium being 2QB, but because of how deep starting lineups are, every position becomes extremely vital. However, you're 100% right that Kaepernick's value is completely overlooked in this deal, and it kills me that I sold him so low. It was just one of those things where it's time for a change. I've owned him since he burst onto the scene a few years back, and he's had all of his ups and downs on my team, it's just time for a change. I was OBSESSED with his fantasy outlook and style for a while, but I'm just so over the inconsistency, especially now with the whole national anthem hoopla, etc. I know I sold him low, but I'm just like whatever about it haha. He was for sure a deal breaker for the other team though, so it was a big piece in the deal. The other team is rebuilding, and the only QB's on his roster are Tannehill, Osweiler, Mccown, RG3, Paxton Lynch, and Hoyer. It's possible he won't even have 2 starting QB's on his roster week 1, so the pick and Kaepernick were both huge, as he will probably draft a QB with the pick also.
